http://verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s6-update/ This software update brings the latest Android™ Marshmallow OS along with improvements to Live Broadcast, easier app searches and updates to the Notification panel. (The update will be available tomorrow)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
Seems legit

And I got my 7 today....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
MM battery has been noticibly better on my N7, my Moto360 v1, and my HP TouchPad. Thats right, three old devices, already benefiting from Doze. While my former top of the line phone waits.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Especially when you look at the date...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jlb1959.01:
Great for you,however as you read thru the comments,everyone with updated phones,their complaints are they previously on kit Kat or lolipop were getting fantastic battery life,and like I said previously my battery at best lasts a day,where as previously it would last r,5 days without charging it,and when put on a monitor app it clearly shows system apps 60 percent use of battery,meaning it has nothing to do with the 6,7 apps I've installed..but again that's great for you!!!...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RGardner:
As of 9am CDT I still have nothing to show of 6.0. Waiting for the "April Fools!" to be sprung on us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
I thought about that when I saw it on the Verizon website yesterday but then I thought no way they would actually do that. That would be a deal-breaker for so many people. Me included
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mjmjhkgh:
still nothing EST 10:45

Is this April Fool's Day Joke?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ginger man:
Calm down everyone. Let's give them until noon and if nothing by then, then we riot. Deal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
A few web based new sources also reported it to happen today. That said, it is April 1st.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

Wow, i was getting 5 days between charges i would refuse any changes to my phone too. I get at best a day and half and only then with minimal use. I dont even think I'd get five days with the phone off.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ginger man:
No riots guys, they bent to our will. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aceisaneight:
Downloading update now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grim281:
downloading now too...albeit extremely slowly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] noc_t:
Lol, same here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gr8nole:
Installed and running MM. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] modus81:
Just got mine and installed it. So far so good. No it's not April fools joke.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Lol 5 days without charging is such BS. Maybe if you turned off data, power save mode, and didn't use it at all. MAYBE

I'd love to see a screen shot of 5 days
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
Not with a sim card active do you get that kind of battery life. Without a sim then yeah, 5 days is no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] retsen:
Ok, I'll bite....how good is it? Is it slow, is it fast, does it fix any glaring problems from before, how's the fingerprint reader, deets gentlemen we need deets!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
Ok, downloaded and installed. A few early quirks, eg had to update Place Services, had to set a Pin or PW to secure the fingerprint. Other than that a smooth and relatively fast update. Need to try it out more and give it a few days to see how battery life goes. Still would prefer a rooted phone though. Next one will be a Nexus...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] crawfordmd:
Its been a while since I checked in to XDA, so I apologize in advance for not being up to speed with development....I have a SM-G920V and still running 5.0.2 since it allowed me to keep root. My baseband is OE2. I presume I will lose root if I update to MM...correct? TIA!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] HipHopIsLyfe37:
Some early observations: Fingerprint reader seams much faster. Everything is more speedy (opening applications, settings, etc.) and animations/scrolling are very smooth. It's too early to tell about battery life. The new color scheme is kind of "ehh." I like it better than the blue and lime green but it isn't stock android haha. So far a welcome update!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
Good feedback. I especially agree with the light drab look. I have never tried adding themes since I use Nova Prime and use my own wallpapers and icon packs. If you apply a theme does it change the dull light color scheme?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ginger man:
Yes, I'm running the marshmellow_dark theme and it fixed the "bleh-ness" even with a different launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rbeavers:
Wish there was a download link!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gotwillk:
i believe you need to flash back to stock first, which means you will wipe everything, and then you can update to MM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Is anyone having trouble downloading the update? I keep getting a download failed error after taking 5 minutes to search for updates multiple times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cdhinch:
I'm having the same problem. Here is the error details it gives me when I try to check again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Must be too many people trying to download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
Mine keeps failing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jizzylax:
Update pulled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] furyau:
grr they finally bring it out just to tease me with it...download ffs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. It fetches the fact that there is an update but as soon as I tap download now, I get a download unsuccessful error. Would they really have pulled it this fast even if something was wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] lugosi1313:
I was in your shoes this morning. What I should have done was removed my root and unfroze things that I had previously frozen with Titanium Backup Pro and THEN updated. But... I didn't do that and my phone got messed up, so someone in another thread had to tell me about Samsung Smart Switch so that I could redo 5.1.1 on it and then take the OTA for 6.0.1. Works great now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
My update still failing. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] noc_t:
Running very smoothly here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Now I am getting a different error - it can't even find the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
Now I'm really getting pissed off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cdhinch:
Still failing here. I'm in a chat with Verizon support right now. Even after a factory reset it's still failing, so they had me contact Samsung support. Samsung didn't even know there was an update. And they want me to send my phone in. (That's not happening)

Just found this on the Verizon Communities.

"We have had a couple other customers chat in with the same issue (in the past 10 minutes) and we did confirm with Samsung that the Marshmallow update is on hold right now because of some bug fixes. They do not have an estimated time for the release of the update yet but once it is known it will become public."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jizzylax:
Yup. April Fools! ****ers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] kilroy1stcav:
I heard they pulled it because of it possibly being rootable, not sure if it's true, just what I heard from my friend who works at Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cdhinch:
If that's the case, then we will never get an update. Someone always figures out a way to get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Verizon's software upgrade assistant doesn't work either:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jizzylax:
Update has been pulled... nothing is going to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tennis_nut:
updated mine today!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ViperPyro:
Downloaded and installed fine for me 5 hours ago. If it was pulled for rootable, that just makes me even happier... root it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aceisaneight:
Hopefully it is rootable but I'm not going to hold my breath.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gotwillk:
if it really is rootable, then great. hopefully someone out there was able to successfully download it and then make a rom out of it. please let this happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
So they either fixed the root exploit in a matter of a few hours or the update is still being sent to phones because I was getting a download error earlier, and now I am downloading the update....currently at 17%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Downloading here as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
Successfully installed as well. Now all we can hope for is root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
I have found a "mount /system" option in the recovery. Could this lead to the exploit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] zakkxx:
Downloaded just fine and happy to report, running extremely smooth. Please root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
Running smooth except for the recent apps screen. It doesn't scroll like before and it seems almost glitchy somehow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
Mine finally went through
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] noc_t:
Seems to be working correctly on my end
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RGardner:
Tapping "Themes" force closes Settings (on my phone). Normally I don't mess with them, but the pastel color choices for the folders suck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
Did you factory reset after installing the update? I didn't.

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

Hmm just hit recents again and it scrolled smoothly again. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tim.boeck:
Ok, maybe someone can help me here. I've been checking this thread out for the last few months, waiting for the update. However, back in January I got fed up with Verizon and switched my SM-G920V over to Straight Talk, using the Verizon compatible micro sim card. All works well with the phone and service itself. I was assuming I would be fine getting the update to MM either through the phone using system update, or through Samsung Smart Switch, or possibly through the VZW Software Upgrade software I have on my computer.

However, I am not seeing any updates yet and none of the options I listed above pull any update through.

Any advice/help would be much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] noc_t:
I did not either, up until last week I was still rooted on OE2 Clean Rom.. finally gave up hope of root.. and Odin'd factory OE2, and took the OTA updates from there..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
Do we know of any devs that are working on root for G920V at the moment since MM just got pushed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jmonroe:
Downloading the update to mine right now. Hopefully running stock marshmallow won't be so bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Illogi.xbone:
Anyone else know where the odin tar might be for the new update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jlb1959.01:
I hope people realize that MM is unrootable as of right now???..

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

And it doesn't even come close to perfomance compared to a rooted 5.1..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] zakkxx:
Well I was rooted once upon a time, but to be quite honest, this latest update is really, really flying. And with my newly found Adguard app...I think I'm finally happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jlb1959.01:
Lol,well if you eliminated the bloatware then went stock MM I would definitely agree,but a costume phone right off the shelf I wouldn't want MM.I was once rooted,did factory reset and then it a upgrade,unfortunately the bloatware slows the 6.0 down..Verizon is terrible with that,i'm sure you know that,congrats on performance!!.I wish I could eliminate the bloat and see how my phone really works on MM.,congrats again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] HipHopIsLyfe37:
The battery life has been very underwhelming for me. It seems as though standby time has actually worsened and Doze is not working correctly at all. Anyone else have any feedback?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jlb1959.01:
That's exactly my problem,terrible battery life,when I checked why,the program said my system apps are drawing 65 percent of my nattery,screen was 2 percent,other apps 2 percent,so I gather that by doze running it is drawing my battery life??. No idea why but I looked into down grading back to t.1,as I was going 3 days minimum on 1 charge,now I get 5 hrs tips,that's if it sits idle..want to hear a good one-- Verizon techs told me that 5 hrs is tips on MM!!,not happy but I'm hoping the rooting team can figure a root and cosumize the 6.0..my vs985 was great under 5.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jizzylax:
My battery life is great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
Yeah, my battery life seems to have been improved as well. But we will see as the week goes on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Anyone knows where I find the update file? I'm using a T-mobile Sim card so i can't update by Ota
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] HipHopIsLyfe37:
That's strange... I even did a factory reset after the update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Shawn haz root:
Just curious, for those who have updated to 6.0, how are you blocking ads (if you are) being that there's no root for it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] lugosi1313:
This is what I need to know too. I didn't realize how many ads my root ad blocker was preventing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cq_:
mozilla's firefox has ublock add-ins...

BTW my chrome sunspider went from 1280ms with 5.0.2 to 679ms with this 6.0.1 a VERY NICE surprise...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Is anyone's wifi screwed up after the update? When I leave my phone on the charger for a while the wifi stops working, and it requires a restart to work again. Also, my battery drained about 40% overnight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elzeus:
Doze has been great, phone was idle for 7hrs and it only drained 2% before the update it would be down 10%+.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] lugosi1313:
Okay, I've spent a fair amount of time on this now and the best thing I've found for web browser ads is to use the adblock plus apk and change my wifi proxy settings like the app instructs. (APK: https://update.adblockplus.org/latest/adblockplusandroid.apk INFO: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-about). But, it killed my google voice searches so I added "google.com" to be bypassed in those same proxy settings and it works again. Finally my phone acts like it did when it was rooted.

I tried Mozilla for Android with the adblock plus plugin for it and it was very slow and some sites didn't look properly and some links didn't work. I also tried the Adblock Browser and it was the same as using firefox - too slow and a couple ads slipped through. I'm using chrome now, and its working speedy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Shawn haz root:
Yes, Doze is useful. I have it installed on 5.0.2 with root and it has made standby noticeably better.

I guess that would work to remove apps throughout the OS. The only thing holding me back now from updating is access to system files and the ability to freeze/delete them. I really hope we get root for 6.0 but after waiting unsuccessfully for root for 5.1.1, I'm thinking I'll be stuck on 5.0.2. Thanks for your input on blocking ads.

Cannot Update in outside USA

Dear all Bros,

I'm using G920V in Vietnam, my curent ver. : G920VVRU4BOK7

There is no Verizon SIM card to get OTA.

Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant on PC cannot detect the NEW version, too!

Can anyone upload the ROM file that I can Flash via ODIN.

Please help! I'm waiting so long time for this Marshmallow 6.0.1...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] popo020:
Same here, any ideas ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] HipHopIsLyfe37:
My battery also drained 30-35% in a 6 hour period overnight too. Doze is non existent. Android OS consumed about 25% of my battery usage and that was from idling. Sounds like there is a problem with the build, go figure. SMFH

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

Did you have to enable it or any optimizations? It is not working for me at all. Standby is actually FAR worse than before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
My battery life is awful as well after update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NodenWIRE:
I do not have the ODIN flashable tar but I found the url to the PC2.bin file on Verizon's server. I think it can be named "update.zip" and put on internal storage and flashed using stock recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
I'll try thank u so much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Eddie Hicks:
I guess selling my S6 and purchasing the S7 Edge is now validated. I loved everything about the S6 except for the battery life which on my phone was just too poor. I started to wait for the MM upgrade to see if it would significantly improve the battery life. Seems like it hasn't and is worst than Lollipop for some owners.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supershrek:
Many THANKS, sir! :)

Try it now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jeff.murillo:
Did it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
I tried but my recovery said "impossible to mount sdcard, no such file or directory"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Illogi.xbone:
Going to give it a go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sam298:
Not many GUI changes I can notice in 6.0.1. But RAM usage is great after upgrading to Marshmallow. With the same running apps I used to see 300-400MB of free ram in 5.1.1. Now it is close to 1GB free ram.

Phone feels faster to respond. Disabled most unwanted bloatware manually and disabled about 8 apps using debloater. Like the Samsung browser with adblock plus addon. Battery life seems same as 5.1.1. Have to use for few days and see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] oleiarme:
It`s work. Thanks!

Rename *.bin to *.zip and flash from recovery via adb or from sdcard. I`m flash via ADB.

P.s. some users wrote that they could not flash from SDcard because external sdcard can't mount from recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Can u help me? How to flash via adb?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NodenWIRE:
This update file may only work if you are on the OK7 update, but I'm not sure.

Do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer? If so, you can open up a command prompt and type in adb reboot recovery, then select install update via ADB on your phone. In the command prompt, type adb sideload update.zip and it should update the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] kilroy1stcav:
Why don't you try Samsung smart switch, it will read your model#, software version and download the correct file and flash it for you, even if you have stuff froze.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Because SS is not showing the MM update. Just got done chatting with Vzw, they said the Upgrade assistant will be updated within the following week....BS!!

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Illogi.xbone:
Use the ADB option. It works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
repair didnt work. Didnt ever start to update just failed. Im not familiar with the ADB. Can you please step by step it for me and ill give it a try. Looks like i need the ADB installed from previous link, then program like winrar to extract it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Illogi.xbone:
I just had the android sdk installed and put the renamed file, mentioned in previous post, into the root adb folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Extract adb and put update.zip in the same folder, restart the phone in recovery (Vol +, home and power button) then select "Apply update from Adb. Now in adb folder, hold shift and right click in some place inside the folder, then select "Open cmd window here" (or something like this). With the phone connected to pc (USB debug must be enabled before), type "Adb devices", a list of connected devices will be displayed, now type "adb sideload update.zip" and wait.

(Sorry for bad English and messed step by step)

So what problems does S6 on Verizon have if any on MM? ATT overloads still hasnt released MM for us yet :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
Hope someone can help on this one.

In the last 3 weeks I have had events where the phone becomes non-responsive. What I mean is that it will not unlock by finger sensor, and the lock screen will not slide up to enter pin. The phone shows at the bottom of the lock screen the 3 icons for locked, camera and something else but, can not get it to swipe. If i reboot sometimes it does and sometimes it does not solve the problem. If it does it, I have to power off the phone, wait a few seconds and power back on. Other times the phone gets hung up on the volume level screen will trying to adjust up or down but, not movement and locks the screen and becomes non-responsive. Also, during this time, it tends for the phone to get warm. Other times if I leave the phone alone for a few minutes, it tends to settle down and fix itself?????? I never get an "android stop working" like message either.

The phone is stock unrooted from day one from BB but, now I am over 15 days and can not return or exchanged. Went by BB today since I am Elite Silver member and see what they could do. They suggested have the geek squad look at it but, I do not trust those guys to even power my phone off. The other option they mentioned was to send back to Huawei.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Note5 General] siriom:
Hey

So heres a solution to save the phone.

Actually 2

ITs stupid but it works.

Get rubbing alcohol on a ear bud and just work it in the volume button.

Let it dry and try the button.

Its gonna work fine for 2 to 3 days then its back to the same.

The permanent solution is harder to come by.

You need extra thin clock oil . It special kind of oil that semi evaporates but fixes this issue.

I can try find whats left of mine and maybe send you a pic or something if the alcohol works for you too.

keep me posted.
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Okay thank you for the suggestion. What do you mean by ear bud though?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ather:
He meant the qtips, I remember my note 4 had the same issue in home button, an alcohol swab fixed it
[Galaxy Note5 General] blackhemi4x4:
That sucks. I've had a couple of rooted phones that Samsung replaced for hardware issues without a problem. I had a couple reps say that it's a voided warranty but I told them they have to prove that my mechanical hardware issue was software related.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a turn right out of the box. For the vast majority of people, it does and performs just fine. Then you have a small percent of the users who do route and tweak their devices because we want more out of it.

What are you going to compare it to,?
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Ah okay thank you very much. Let me try it on his phone and report back!
